They just buried Lilja in the AHL and will be hit with dead cap space of $630K. Add on Strait's $605 and then also the fact they have 7 defensemen still I don't see why they would pick up Strait to waste more cap space.

Haha, sorry for the stupid post. I get most of my Pens knowledge from reading this board. That is why I asked for help to confirm what I had heard. I don't live in Pittsburgh so I have few people around me who are able to talk hockey. I found out that the rumor started on HF Boards as a joke.

How was the waiver order determined prior to the start of the season? Is it the order in which the teams finished? If that's the case, there are several other teams that might take Strait on waivers before the Flyers had a chance to claim him.

Reverse order from last season. Typically after X days or games On Nov 1, it switches to reverse order of the current season.
